She didn't mention tort and she said the lump was a nodule. However, she did mention there might be a problem with that muscle and has booked us to see a paed at the hospital in the new year, so i'm quite relieved.

Se said she could see what I mean about him favouring one way so I feel like I'm not going crazy.

So thanks very much and hopefully this will be resolved one way or another. It feels so good to be taken seriously, I just want to get LO the help I think he needs.

Thanks xx

Hi ladies,

I was just wondering if any of your LOs have this.

I think my 15 wk old does. He constantly prefers to look one way, and he has a lump behind his left ear. I reposition his head, put all interesting things on his worst side etc - absolutely everything that's recommended. His head looks like a 20p piece from above poor lamb. I was just wondering who diagnosed it for you, and what treatment you had and for how long - any experience would be great really.

I'm worried sick to be honest. Worried he's got it, worried GP, HV will dismiss it and no-onw will help me. I'm awful at being assertive with doctors etc.

hi, i don't know what this is, but i do remember when ds was a little baby he did prefer to look one way, he always laid with his head to the same side, even if i put all his toys to the other, i also remember seeing a few other ppl posting similar things and everyone replying saying that their babies had a preffered side, so cld be something andnothing....HOWEVER, if u are at all worried that it is more than nothing then i'm afraid ur gonna have to face ur fears and take him to the doctor, don't feel silly or like ur wasting their times becasue (and i'm sure they'll reassure u of this) they are there to help, and that not only means diagnosing problems but ruling them out too, they are there to make sure nothing gets too serious and to catch things early on, they are there for and ur lo, it's their job to be, and they are paid for it, so defintaely don't feel guilty. if u've even the slightest niggle that somethings not quite right (mothers instinct) then take him for a professional opinion rather than worrying urself silly over somehting that cld be nothing, or worse, not worrying when it really is something. hth and good luck xx

thanks for your replies. I have a GP appt tomorrow and am taking my mum for back-up - I just get emotional! He had a horrible delivery, back to back, got stuck, pulled out by forceps, so sound very similar spedshaw.
